l2o Miners Killed

BRUSSELS, March 5,-An explosion ol fire damp occurred to day in the colliery at Quaregnen four miles from Mons. The explosion shattered roofs and galleries so that many of them fell. One hundred miners are entomed, but it is not yet known if any are killed. On account of the blockade of the passage the work is slow and difficult.
 LATER.-A dispatch from Mons says: The I2o men who were in the mine at the time of the explosion were killed. It had not been possible at the time the dis patch was sent to reach the dead bodies of its victims.

The Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of tho Mint both know that the Bland bill authorizes a coinage of silver dollars to the extent of S4,ooo,ooo per nonth-but that it says also not less than S2,ooo,ooo per month shall be coined. They are very careful to keep the coinage down to the lowest possible limit, and by their own showing in January did not coin even the lowest limit required. When these officials know that the majority of the people of the United States are demanding that the amount of dollars coined shall be increased, and it is time we had United States officials who will respect the laws and give us the largest limit of the silver coinage for few years--if it has to be limited at all. What the people of the United States want, however, is free and unlimited coinage for silver, as well as gold.

 PRESCOTT, Aris, March 5.-The bill now being read before the Council is, in all probability, one of the most infamous measures ever introduced into any Legis- lature in the United States. It com pletely changes the system of govern ment of this Territory. IL absolutely places the entire control of our county and municipal affairs in the hands of the Governor of this Territory, giving him full swing. The men who inau- gurated this infamous proposition will live to regret il. There is nothing but the most glaring kind of jobbery going on in the Council, as we'll as the House. Zulick and Parish have full swing and everything is turned to their choosing.
